Hello all,
I used to be a competitive swimmer and received extensive technique trainings with my stokes. From what I remember, during a stroke, while reaching just before touching the water, hands will go in the water like a knife (turned inwards ) insead of going flat smashing the water without causing any shock between water and hands (like slapping water). From what I have been watching, Michael Phelps is using a hand movement which is really flat and just reaching out , making a pull in both strokes. Is there anyone who can tell me which is better and should I change my technique in my hands?
Thanks
